yeah why would you care what some guys are doing in fucking Fullerton if you're like an adult anywhere else in the Universe??? Those guys are fine. I have some burger tapes--when my band stayed at their house they just gave us all of them and when we played their store a year or two later they just let us pick out whatever ones we wanted for free. That's cool with me and isn't confusing, because tapes are still cheap to make. and they're cool, ipod boomboxes are quiet and it's stupid to bring an expensive thing with you somewhere like the beach so why not bring a tape player and why not listen to the Quick on it? I don't get the backlash against tapes in general. pretty sure no band i'm ever going to like is ever going to be some "cassette" band (
) and it's not like the people I know with cars have nice cars so why can't I listen to a goddam tape in car? Or in my room, as I am wont to do when cleaning it. It's not like these guys are in any way ripping anyone off at any level and they have a sick record store with good-ass prices. I dunno why but I get really confused when people hate burger, yeah cute shit is dumb but you guys liked the vivian girls for goddsake
agree 100%. I don't know who that makes more uncomfortable.
I don't have anything against Burger or albums on tape in general. I also don't know why anyone would think that it's a good idea to put 200 tapes out in a year but whatever.
When Black Lips was here year or so ago, they had their Burger tapes for sale for like 15 dollars. That was fucking ridiculous.
agreed, and that is ridiculous, but I'd lay that at the Black Lips' feet and not Burger's
and now to the meat of the matter
Is there a dick in my brain or is everyone missing the obvious? Burger Records is something worth bitching about for the plain and simple reason that they are STYLE/SUBSTANCE POACHERS. They invest NOTHING into ANYTHING. Wow, they put on SHOWS. BIG DEAL DUMBASSES. I can PUT ON A SHOW for free too. I can also release a zillion cassettes a year for $100 for 100 copies. WHOA MAN, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THAT $$$$$ BACK?!!! They bank on labels like me putting out good shit on ACTUAL VINYL and ACTUALLY GIVING A FUCK...ACTUALLY TAKING A RISK...and then they go behind my back (and tons of other labels' backs too) and just swoop in AFTER A BAND GETS POPULAR and asks them directly if THEY WANNA DO A TAPE VERSION ON BURGER. It's a lame move because it makes the entire substance of "Burger Records" basically being some retarded glorified TAPE COLLECTOR who collects OTHER PEOPLES RELEASES onto a few tapes and then calls themselves a fucking label. Give me a break. They MIGHT be changing their "business model" now....now that they've sold 2,500 KING TUFF REISSUED TAPES....but this model I described is pretty much the ESSENCE and the CORE of what the fuck BURGER "RECORDS" (HOLY FUCK, CAN I GET EXTRA QUOTES WITH THAT>>?!!!) actually was. I really don't care that someone releases a ton of tapes...but that;s not what this is. This is straight up taking credit for everyone elses good taste/sense of what the fuck is going on...then paying some measly investment and treating EVERYTHING like a minor task to get done with NO LOVE FOR IT. Its like a race to get tapes done....like they are little scene cred points. "Oh cool, got another point for being on top of that trend now!" TAPES ARE FINE. JUST FIND YOUR OWN BANDS, RECORD NEW MUSIC, MAKE NEW ART, AND PROMOTE IT YOUR GOD DAMN SELF YOU FUCKING CA FAGGOT LEECHES.
I wish you were standing in front of me so I could beat the ever loving piss out of you right now. Motherfucker you are one to talk. How about not responding to emails and being a bitch and going back on deals you made with other labels? You are the biggest shithead in the business. FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!! You know nothing about Burger records or really anything else. You are a rich kid who got lucky with some releases and that's it.
EAT A FOSSILIZED DINOSAUR DICK!!!!!!!
